Drowsy Driver Awareness Day
Tuesday, 13th December 2016
This year’s New Zealand Drowsy Driver Awareness Day is a day for celebrating the AKILLA® drowsy driving educational campaign messages spreading to road users around the World.
This progress has been aided by the Global Alliance of Non-Government Organisations for Road Safety which was established in 2012 by NGO members of the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC) and currently represents more than 170 member NGO’s working in road safety from more than ninety countries around the World.
The following is a link to the latest initiative which is a Global Alliance -AKILLA® webinar on drowsy driving education. We are sure that you will find this webinar on the ‘silent killer’ both interesting and informative.
